Control A Register (0Eh)
BLF1, Valid RAM and Time Bit 1 (0Eh Bit 7); BLF2, Valid RAM and Time Bit 2 (0Eh Bit 6)
These status bits give the condition of any batteries attached to the V
monitors the battery voltage of the backup-battery sources (V
the battery voltage on V
condition of V
to maintain the RAM memory or clock functions. These bits are read only.
PRS, Reset Select Bit (0Eh Bit 5)
When set to 0, the PWR pin is set high-Z when the DS1500 goes into power-fail. When set to 1, the PWR pin
remains active upon entering power-fail.
PAB, Power Active-Bar Control Bit (0Eh Bit 4)
When this bit is 0, the PWR pin is in the active-low state. When this bit is 1, the PWR pin is in the high-impedance
state. The user can write this bit to 1 or 0. If either TDF AND TPE = 1 or KSF = 1, the PAB bit is cleared to 0. This
bit can be read or written.
TDF, Time-of-Day/Date Alarm Flag (0Eh Bit 3)
A 1 in the TDF bit indicates that the current time has matched the alarm time. If the TIE bit is also 1, the IRQ pin
goes low and a 1 appears in the IRQF bit. This bit is cleared by reading the register or writing it to 0.
KSF, Kickstart Flag (0Eh Bit 2)
This bit is set to 1 when a kickstart condition occurs or when the user writes it to 1. If the KIE bit is also 1, the IRQ
pin goes low and a 1 appears in the IRQF bit. This bit is cleared by reading the register or writing it to 0.
WDF, Watchdog Flag (0Eh Bit 1)
If the processor does not access the DS1500 with a write within the period specified in addresses 0Ch and 0Dh,
the WDF bit is set to 1. WDF is cleared by writing it to 0.
IRQF, Interrupt Request Flag (0Eh Bit 0)
The interrupt request flag (IRQF) bit is set to 1 when one or more of the following are true:
TDF = TIE = 1
KSF = KIE = 1
WDF = WDE = 1
i.e., IRQF = (TDF x TIE) + (KSF x KIE) + (WDF x WDE)
Any time the IRQF bit is 1, the IRQ pin is driven low.
Clearing IRQ and Flags
The time-of-day/date alarm flag (TDF), watchdog flag (WDF), kickstart flag (KSF) and interrupt request flag (IRQF)
are cleared by reading the flag register (0Eh). The address must be stable for a minimum of 15ns while CS and OE
are active. After the address stable requirement has been met, either a change in address, a rising edge of OE, or
a rising edge of CS causes the flags to be cleared. The IRQ pin goes inactive after the IRQF flag is cleared. TDF
and WDF can also be cleared by writing to 0.
